Together, Brenda Milligan ’84 and adviser Mrs. Bradley look over a contribution. Because of their leadership and insight, composing Overtures, was a fulfilling, productive experience. Photo by A. Sheri¬ dan. It’s not always easy to agree on which pieces are right for Overtures, as Ann Mullen ’85, Nina Parikh ’85, and Lisa Mill¬ er ’85 discover. Pointing out the merits and faults of each work sometimes kindled heat¬ ed discussions in the Blue Print Overtures office. Photo by A. Sheridan.

Service. Dedication. Car¬ ing. An international organi¬ zation geared toward the service of the school and community, the Magnificat Key Club possessed these three qualities during the past year. Throughout the year, including the summer months, the club participat¬ ed in a wide variety of activities. This year’s membership increase from fifteen to sixty-four members enabled the club to plan and execute a larg¬ er number of projects. This year’s exceptionally busy summer included projects such as collecting money for the Kidney Foundation, holding a car wash to benefit the Hattie Larlham Foundation for the severely retarded and handicapped square dancing at Camp Cheerful. The ma¬ jor project of the summer was a garage sale that raised $250 for Muscular Dystrophy. Members also worked in the mailroom at the telethon. The cold weather did not lower the morale of the club. In fact, November and December were two of the busiest months in the club’s history. Aside from the many food drives in which members participated, Key Clubbers along with Right to Life members diligently worked on Christmas deco¬ rations, which then brightened a ward of the Veteran’s Administration Hospital. Contrary to popular be¬ lief, Key Club has not been hard work alone. Through interclubbing, members were given the opportunity to meet and work with oth¬ er area Key Clubbers. So¬ cial events, such as dances, helped to build and strengthen the many special friendships made during the year. The highlight of the Key Club year was the dis¬ trict convention. Key Clubbers from Ohio met and learned more about Key Club, were rewarded for the year’s past accom¬ plishments, and basically enjoyed themselves. This year’s moderators, Miss Nancy Powell and Sr. Clara Chandler, were the driving forces behind the club. Yet, it has always been the individual member who is most important.
